Please be aware that this book, excellent though it it is, was first published in 1980 and some things may be outdated. Comfrey for instance, is no longer recommended for ingestion since it can damage your liver.

If you’re new to medicinal herbs, always compare multiple sources, and make sure you have correctly identified your herb. Never ingest anything you don’t know what it is.

Forage responsibly!

Forage only for personal need and never for profit, and remember to take no more than 10% of any given patch, and then only after asking the plant for permission. If you mean to forage a lot, or if you intend to take roots, you really aught to grow your own herbs (in your own garden or through guerilla gardening/wild tending, as to not deplete the dwindling supply of Gaia’s bounties.
